A heat pump heats and cools with a single system, moving heat instead of burning fuel — which makes it one of the most efficient ways to keep a Northern Virginia home comfortable all year. R.A. Dobson has installed and replaced heat pumps across Sterling since 1975, and we take the time to size and select the right system for your home, not just swap in whatever fits.
From your first estimate to the final walkthrough, you get an honest, upfront price, professional installation by factory-trained and certified technicians, and a one-year service warranty on top of your manufacturer coverage.
A heat pump is only as good as its installation. Here is what we focus on so your new system runs efficiently for years:
• Right-sizing with a load calculation so your system is not too big or too small
• Matching the indoor and outdoor units for peak efficiency
• Carrier equipment options, backed by our Factory Authorized Dealer status
• Clean ductwork connections and proper airflow
• Correct refrigerant charge and a full system test before we leave
• A clear walkthrough of your new controls and settings
Understanding efficiency. Two ratings matter on a heat pump. SEER2 measures cooling efficiency in summer, and HSPF measures heating efficiency in winter — the higher each number, the less energy your system uses to keep you comfortable. We explain the ratings on the models we recommend in plain language, so you can weigh upfront cost against long-term energy savings and pick the system that fits your home and budget.
A few common questions. How much does it cost? You get an honest, upfront quote before any work begins — no surprises. Can I finance a new system? Yes — we offer financing through Wells Fargo so a replacement fits your budget; see our financing page. Just need a fix instead? Visit our heat pump repair page.
